Increased use of waitlist this year?

I was waitlisted, and my hopes were so diminished I almost gave up on ND. However, my mom made a good argument that with the economy as bad as it is, many more people may opt to go to a cheaper school than pay the tuition at ND. I, though hopeful, still thought ND would probably plan ahead for a lower yield rate and accept a larger group of students than normal. What are your thoughts on this? Is there a greater cause for hope for waitlisted students this year than others? Should I accept the fact I won’t be attending my dream school and just start settling in somewhere else? Thanks in advance!
